Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Two steam-bent strips cantilever over the seat to serve first as legs then armrest and finally mold to the lumbar area. The Nina & Beni chair is made from 100% sustainably sourced forests.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Dimensions: W 560 x H 720 x L 500mm
Weight: 8 kg (unboxed)
Main materials: ash, cherry, oak or walnut
Finish: Natural oils and waxes - Tags
- Steam bending, solid wood, sustainable, chair design
- Production Technology
- To achieve the complex geometry of the Nina & beni chair we use a 5 axis CNC to cut 2 molds which we then use to steam bend the solid wood strips to their form. We then use another set of cnc-cut counter molds to make the 3d lamination.
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part was designing and building the 3 dimensional molds needed to build the chair.
- Research
- Sustainability is my design objective.
I use wood because it is the best short carbon cycle material, the complex shapes are steam-bent so as to create as little waste as possible.
These pieces are made from quality materials and designed to last a lifetime. - Inspiration
- Inspired by the efficient yet beautiful forms of wooden naval structures. Boat building achieves aerodynamic forms that take advantage of the trees grain with little waste.
- Project Duration
- This project started in September 2019, was exhibited at The Stockholm Furniture fair in January then at the London design fair in September
- Operation Flow
- Solid wood chair meant to last a lifetime
Seat is removable and interchangeable. - Image Credits
